History Manga / TheGreatJahyWillNotBeDefeated

* ChromosomeCasting: Every named character in this series is female. The only notable male characters, all of which being nameless extras, are a couple of cops that give Jahy some trouble on rare occasions, a man that crossdresses as a magical girl that Jahy mistakes for the ''actual'' Magical Girl, a young boy who tried to bully Jahy before running away after seeing her adult form, and the sister duo's one-off uncle. There are also plenty of inconsequential unnamed guys that come to the Maou Pub.

* FoodPorn: The chapter where the Owner has Jahy and Kyoko try out different cooked meats, including fish, ginger pork, and s steak, provides both types of food porn, with Kyoko giving impressively elaborate descriptions of them as if she was a high-class food connoisseur, while Jahy experiences increasing levels of bliss at being able to eat good meat, with the steak outright inducing a {{fanservice}}y ''Manga/FoodWars''-style [[OrgasmicallyDelicious foodgasm]].

* CringeComedy: A good portion of humor during the early chapters/episodes, especially everything relating to Druj, involves constantly tormenting Jahy over her {{Pride}}-based HonourBeforeReason, mainly by forcing her into situations where she screws herself over and ends up miserable because [[DontYouDarePityMe she refuses to accept help due to seeing it as pity]], while her interactions with Druj revolve around smacking her PerpetualPoverty status in her face from Druj's immense wealth, which always ends in her going home in tears because her pride prevents her from asking Druj for any money or food. This style of humor gradually fades away as Jahy experiences positive CharacterDevelopment, as she starts being more successful and experiences happiness due to LaserGuidedKarma rewarding her more than it punishes her.

* SpoilerOpening: The second opening that starts on Episode 11 prominently displays Maou and her character long before she is introduced in the story proper. It also heavily hints at the future friendship between Jahy and Magical Girl Kyoko, which happens shortly before Maou is introduced.

* DoItYourselfThemeTune: The first opening is sung by Creator/YuiOgura (Kokoro), while the second opening and ending are sung by Creator/SumireUesaka (Kyouko the Magical Girl) and Miho Okasaki (Maou-sama).

* DoItYourselfThemeTune: The first opening is sung by Creator/YuiOgura (Kokoro), while the second opening and ending is sung by Creator/SumireUesaka (Kyouko the Magical Girl) and Miho Okasaki (Maou-sama) sings the second OP and ED respectively.

* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Neither the landlady nor her boss, and not even Kokoro, seem to comment on the fact that Jahy constantly spouts her intentions to reclaim the Demon Realm or the fact she can shift her appearance.

* WrestlerInAllOfUs: The OP features shots of Jahy and the landlord putting each other in submission holds.

* NotSoDifferent: Jahy is as sycophantic towards the Demon Lord as Druj is towards Jahy.

* ActorAllusion: Episode 3 ends with a parody of ''LightNovel/BodaciousSpacePirates'', which starred three of ''Great Jahy'''s four current voice actresses (Creator/KanaHanazawa, Creator/YokoHikasa, and Creator/AiKayano). Oddly, while Hanazawa has a similar position as the main character's second-in-command, Creator/MikakoKomatsu--who voiced the lead in ''Bodacious Space Pirates''--doesn't debut until the next episode, missing out on an Actor Allusion of her own.

* OhCrap: Jahy has one after the Magical Girl shows up at her apartment while she was sick. Fortunately for her, the Magical Girl doesn't seem to recognize Jahy in her tiny form, and wants the mana crystal that's in Jahy's possession.

* IWroteOurStory: Episode 4's after-credits scene sees Jahy and Druj working on the ''The Great Jahy'' manga, with the landlady as the editor riding hard on them to get the manuscript before deadline.

* NearDeathExperience: When the Magical Girl finds Jahy at her apartment, sick with a cold, Jahy deems that she's just moments away from having her gem stolen until the Landlady calls the cops on the Magical Girl. Jahy is so frightened that [[TenderTears she breaks down]], and the Ryou has to console her to sleep.

* IWroteOurStory: Episode 4's after-credits scene sees Jahy and Druj working on the ''The Great Jahy'' manga, with the landlady as the editor riding herd on them to get the manuscript before deadline.

But she won't be discouraged! She will search for magical gems to eventually restore the Demon Realm... no matter how many times she ([[ButtMonkey comically]]) stumbles, goes up in arms with her landlady whenever her rent is due, gets hounded by her old rival Saurva, or is reminded of the relative success of her former second-in-command, Druj, now a wealthy businesswoman. And that's not to mention the occasional run-in with the same magical girl that ruined her life.

* TheJinx: The magical demon gems have this effect on any humans that possess them, with even a small one making the owner suffer bad luck like frequent tripping or animals attacking them, while a massive concentration of them being held under the "ownership" of a human will turn the place they keep it into a decrepit EldritchLocation constantly trying to kill them with bad fortune. The Magical Girl is only able to handle owning so many of them because of being incredibly tough through a combination of magical girl powers and natural sturdiness gained from being BornUnlucky even before she took up her role fighting demons and gathering gems.

* NearDeathExperience: When the Magical Girl finds Jahy at her apartment, sick with a cold, Jahy deems that she's just moments away from being obliterated until the Landlady calls the cops on the Magical Girl. Jahy is so frightened that [[TenderTears she breaks down]], and the Landlady has to console her to sleep.

* ActorAllusion: Episode 3 ends with a parody of ''LightNovel/BodaciousSpacePirates'', which starred three of ''Great Jahy'''s four actresses (Creator/KanaHanazawa, Creator/YokoHikasa, and Creator/AiKayano) introduced so far. Oddly, while Hanazawa has a similar position as the main character's underling, Creator/MikakoKomatsu--who voiced the lead in ''Bodacious Space Pirates''--doesn't debut until the next episode.
